Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1887-03-12
A DISMAL PREDICTION.

In 1857 Lord Macaulay, writing of the
American Republic, used these words:
"The day will come when, in the State
of New York, a multitude of people,
not one of whom has had more than half
a breakfast, or expects to have more
than half a dinner, will choose a Legis-
lature. Is it possible to doubt what sort
of a Legislature will be chosen? On one
side is a statesman preaching patience,
respect for vested rights. strict observ-
ance Of public faith; on the other is a
demagogue, canting about the tyranny
of capitalists and usurers, and asking
why anybody should be permitted to
drink champagne and to ride in carriages
while thousands of honest folks are in
want Of necessaries. Which of the two
candidates is likely to be preferred by
the workingman who hears his children
crying for bread; / seriously apprehend
that you will, in some such seasons of
adversely as l have described, do things
which will prevent prosperity from re-
turning. Either some Cesar or Napoleon
will seize the reins of government with
q strong hand, or your Republic will be
as fearfully plundered and laid waste by
barbarians in the twentieth century as
the Roman Empire was in the fifth, with
this difference, that Huns and Vandals
will have been engendered within your
own country and by your own institu-
tons"

BEECHER.

San Francisco Post: Henry Ward
Beecher was not a great theologian nor
a great logician. He was a great orator
-one of the few real orators of our time.
This is not an age of spoken eloquence.
We have torrents of talk, and Of tawdry,
sell. conscious imitation Of eloquence;
but the genuine thing-the power that
once swayed d~elirious crowds at q
masters willis almost extinct, killed
by the newspaper and the popular maya
zine. Beecher had the true oratorical
temperament. He was not a careful or
accurate thinker, and his d%iscourses were
not convincing in print; but he had the
magic personal command of an audience
that distinguished the Clays, and White.
fields and Foxes of the past. He could
adorn his ideas with a gorgeousness OF
imagery and an ~enchantment OF voice
and presence that held the reason of his
hearers for the time in a state OF sus.
pended consciousness.
Naturally, with such a temperament
he was a creature of feeling and impulse.
1t was that quality which gave him his
greatest triumphs and his greatest sor.
rows. 1t carried him to England to de-
fend his imperiled country before the
bar of foreign opinion. and the dazzling
success of mis- eloquence there was per-
haps the highest flight of his career.
The same emotional nature brought him
to the depths of misery some years later.
1t has colored his judgment on every
question of the day. 1t has paralyzed
his influence when it happened to be op.
posed to reason, but it has given him
matchless power when reason and emo
tion worked together.
That Henry Ward Beecher was the
greatest pulpit orator of the world hardly
any one will deny. He was not merely
that; he was a man of sympathies toe
wide to be bounded by his profession.
He did not fit well into creeds OF
churches. He was not only a great
preacher, but a great man, and a warm
hearted, generous one as well. The list
of Americans who will be remembered in
history is sure to contain his name.

Mr.. Powderly has resolutely declined
to officially befriend the condemned An.
archists of Chicago, and has striven to
prevent the knights Of Labor from adopt.
ing these criminals as their porteges.
For pursuing this course he has been de-
nounced from time to time by the An.
archist element that has obtruded itself
into the ranks of organized labor. 1t is
needless to add that the General Master
Workman can endure and survive a great
deal of such denunciation.

In literary circles a story is current of
a publisher who generously offered the
daughter of Jefferson Davis SlC0 for a
series of four articles upon social sub.
jects which he suggested. The story
continues that the reply he received from
an authorized friend of the young lady
stated that as she had an opportunity
to earn the amount named for a single
paper Of less length and upon a theme of
her own selection, she must decline the
privilege extended. 1t is liberality of
this kind that sustains the proverb about
personal economy and wealth.

The Elmira Tidings prints a letter from
Mrs. Sallie Neureschwander Of Hunting
ton, Pa, touching the case Of Mrs. Druse.
That Ssllie has had a rather cherries
matrimonial experience is evidenced by
the following emphatic remarks:
l am q married woman, and l wish to
heaven l had the same courage that Mrs.
Druse had and l would rid the world OF
another monster In sleeps clothing. The
idea of some lovesick women who have
written to you saying: "Hang her; oh, hang

"Here il q partner in life for you,"

be is only a man." Men. indeed. they all
deserve to be burned alive. They are
very sweet till once they get . woman, and
then they think it their bounden duty to
taunt the life out of her
We do not like to interfere In the slight.
